Sophia - Calculating Grade - harrypotter - 04-08-2020
I’m kind of horrible at math but am I calculating this correctly? I asked a chat representative how many points total there are in US History 1, there are 332 points. A 70 is required to pass. So 70% of 332 is 232. So does this mean someone can get 100 challenge questions wrong (since they’re one point). Asking for a friend, because he got 2 challenge questions wrong & is pretty nervous about it. Thanks for the help!

There are the the normal challenges and the milestones. Milestones count double.
I think most challenges give you 3 attempts already and for both challenges and milestones: check the materials.
You can miss out on 332 - 233 points (70%, rounded to be sure) = 99 points. So you can indeed fail 99 normal challenge questions or 49 milestone questions since they count double.
Be sure to check the tab "Score Report" to ensure the scores are ok.
I don't have the correct breakdown, but let's assume
9 challenges each 12 questions = 108 questions = total 108 points
4 milestones each 28 questions = 56 points = total 224 points
------ +
332 points total
